It was intended for job seekers or residents aged 17 years and over with Jakarta ID cards or domiciled in Jakarta. He assessed that people's enthusiasm for participating in the training was quite high.

"We are optimistic to achieve the target. Besides job seekers, workers who got laid off due to the pandemic situation also want to improve their skills," he said.

It was provided in collaboration with urban villages and RT/RW administrators. Even, participants would receive a training certificate from Regional Job Training Center (PPKD) in their respective region.

According to him, MTU had an advanced, modern, and high-tech teaching aid. Job seekers were facilitated with door-to-door training to gain skills based on their interests.

"Hopefully, participants can take advantage of this opportunity to learn skills," he expressed.
